Everything on this show was hyped. I remember this episode but somehow over the years the race doesn't seem as impressive now. But it was a great idea back in 1986.
The movie is in my personal top 5
as a pure exercise in cinema, it just moves. Breakneck pace almost. It's an exercise in almost pure style. There's some obvious flaws, that all Mann's movies post 2004 have, script has some bad lines, but other than a funny accent from Farrell, or a bad line from Gong Li, there's not really that much there to hate. He switches the deep character development for shorthand nods and knowing looks.
it's maybe the most gorgeously shot movie I have ever seen.

Mann's one of my favorite Director's. Heat's my all time favorite movie. I just for whatever reason never bought the Miami Vice DVD so I don't re-visit it enough. Looks like it's currently on Starz. So I'll fire it up this weekend. to watch.

Crockett "NOOOOOOOO"*POW*
The ending of that episode was nice,wife with the get-back soon as he walked out of the courtroom..

That must have happened on VICE about a dozen times lol
That became a TV/movie trope itself too, with the courtroom vigilante justice. That's a standard on all cop shows.

This show as slippery as fukk man. Over the past 2-3 years the shyt was on….
Starz
Peacock
Amazon Prime
Tubi
Apple TV…
Never simultaneously and available on none of them at this point. Once upon a time I “bought it” on Amazon Prime only to receive a prompt that the license has expired
Is there any coincidence that the only place I can find it now is on an actual channel so you don’t have any options as how you view it in terms of episodes, seasons, rewinding etc.
Wtf lol
Starz
Peacock
Amazon Prime
Tubi
